The Solomon Islands
This group of landmasses known as Solomon Islands are located in the archipelago in Oceania near the continent of Australia, this region was one of the most bloody scenarios in WW2, following independance on 1978. Population Statistics:
 * Population: an estimate of 584,578 people live on the Solomon Islands.
 * Birth rate: an average of 27.46 births per 1000 people.
 * Death rate: average of 3.91 people die per the thousand.
 * net migration rate: average of 1.86 migrate per the thousand.
 * infant mortality rate: 17.25 infants die per 1000 births.
 * Population growth rate: This country receivesan 2.17% growth rate.
 * life expectancy: The males on average 71.84 years, the womenat 77.14 years
 * Doubling time: the doubling time is about 32 years.

This Islands have really harsh lives that reflect in the statistics above. It has a high birth rate probably due to the lack of education in this area. The net migration rate shows as negative, that is probably because many people seek better lifestyles that the ones they are currently in, the civil war could also have been an important factor since this war scared the country pretty badly. Infant mortality rate is pretty high since this country lacks of proper healthcare and lack of doctors. The growth rate is making the country increase in population quick due to the high birthrates and not so high death rates. The residents are mostly "islanders" a nd that is a very important factor since the country's economy is mostly agriculture, then its probably a less developed country, it imports most of its goodsand as well the islanders have a pretty harsh life making them deteriorate quicker.

Solomon Islands is an LEDC, its one of the poorest in oceania, their economy is 75% agriculture which characterizes an underdeveloped place.

This islands have suffered greatly because of the political unrest caused in 1998 because of ethnic groups disputing between themselves and health issues are increasing as malaria cannot be prevented by government because of lack of proper healthcare and this is prejudicing the country and its population.
